C/S I just replaced my front rotors, but it’s making a grinding noise!

C/S Wipers don't work
I'm at a loss. Electrical is also my weak point, and I don't even know where to start other than pulling up the electrical diagram and going through with a multi meter.

I don’t think that’s supposed to do that…

The 'I bought the expensive yellow gas' adventure.
Yep. Not sure how people keep doing this. It's more expensive, it's a different handle at the pump, it's supposed to be a differently shaped nozzle that won't even fit. But here we are in 2025 and people are still pulling it off! I see this at least once a year, sometimes 2-3 times a year.

Does this qualify as a hostile work environment?
Boss says 'I watched a show about Taylor Swift last night, she's really smart and talented" 8 hours of her music later "Yeah I guess I just don't get it, all her songs really do just sound the same". I'll be retaining a workplace injury lawyer now, thank you.

What’s the weirdest thing you’ve fished out of an engine?

When you take the phrase "drop the transmission" literally.

No, 80 year old cars are not "supposed to do" that.
Something very wrong with this Riley front axle.

Is educating myself to a car mechanic still worth it ?
Is it worth it to educate myself on fixing non electric cars ? Ones that run on diesel and gasoline. I was thinking of changing my jobs to car mechanic but idk if those types of cars will still be relevant in 10 plus years since electric cars are taking over from what I heard ? So if I learn on non electric cars will transition to fixing electric ones be hard or do I jump over to learning electric cars immediately. Also my dad is a really good car mechanic but he doesn't do anything on electric cars. Job looks like it requires thinking which I think is super cool !

Has anyone ever seen cheetah print rotors before?
This was a few years ago. Pretty sure we just changed pads and rotors. Has anyone run into this before or know what could have caused this?

Swapping out snap on impact with truck.
I’m new to the tool trucks. Bought an impact that I found out I didnt need as much as a 3/8. Are they swappable? Or am I stuck with it
